Exclusive: Gabriel Jesus - Back in the game

Another excuse to watch highlights of Manchester City's 3-0 FA Cup win away at Crystal Palace - this time, set to stirring music...

What happened

Pep Guardiola gave Gabriel Jesus his full debut for this fourth round tie and also recalled the fit-again Vincent Kompany and Fabian Delph for rare starts.

The Blues’ boss has made it clear he wants to win this competition and his team selections have backed that ambition up, with another strong starting eleven and bench named.

City started brightly at Selhurst Park and could have been ahead after just three minutes when Sterling’s cross found Sane in the six-yard box but the German winger missed the ball and the danger was cleared.

Star man: David Silva

From start to finish, Silva was nothing less than excellent. Pulling the strings as only he can, he glided around the pitch, linking defence to attack effortlessly in a masterclass of midfield creativity before setting up Sane to seal the tie late on.
